AWARD-WINNING TikToker Banele "Moghelingz" Ndaba has scored a Netflix gig!

The entertainer is excited to be part of a new Netflix comedy show called Republic of South Ah Sh**t.

The show premieres on Wednesday, 26 July, only on Netflix. It features big stars from the entertainment industry such as Loyiso Gola, Mpho Popps and Letoya Makhene.

Moghelingz, who is an award-winning social media all-rounder, comedy entertainer and actor, told Daily Sun that this is a dream come true for him.

"I was lucky enough to star in the Netflix movie ROSA. I played the character Parafina, which is a parody of the well-known groundbreaking film Sarafina!," he said.

The actor said playing this role was really a life-changing moment for him because he is such a big fan of the film, Sarafina!.

"I had always imagined playing her. That's because I have been praying to get an opportunity to showcase my work on the big screen, especially on Netflix," Moghelingz said.

The actor said he felt the stars aligned and his prayers were answered. In 2022, Moghelingz appeared on the SABC1 soapie, Uzalo.

"During filming, I was exposed to a lot of elements that I never thought existed in film. It was a great challenge for me to bring this character to life," he said.

The actor said he was also physically challenged as he had to portray a young, violent student.

"What I learnt from this experience is that timing is very important when you are working with a director as great as Kagiso Lediga. That really helped me tell the story much more easily," Moghelingz said.

He said that learning from everyone who was on set helped him not only on set, but also in his career.

"I hope this work I have done inspires young African children to thrive, to believe and to keep dreaming. I also hope it gives me a lot more room for growth in the television industry," Moghelingz said.
